Poster I Saw Years Ago

[kadamangudy]

I have no idea where to put this thread, so I randomly placed it here. Many years ago I saw a Soviet Propaganda poster. The poster showed a female farmer holding a sickle above her head and a miner(?) holding a hammer above his head. The two tools crossed to make the emblem we are so familiar with. In the foreground is a Red Army Soldier with his gun pointed at the viewer.
My memory is somewhat vague about the background colours, but I hope this is enough information to jog people's memories. Just suggest anything that somewhat resembles this description.
THanks!

Isn't that a statue in Volgograd (Stalingrad)?

I thought the statue in Volvograd was of Mother Russia holding a sword.

Yes, you are right. The statue of the worker and peasant was at the Soviet pavilion at one of the World's Fairs.

This statue is the same, but it is in Moscow. It is called "A Worker and a Collective Farmer."

I know the one. That statue is on top of a huge gate that you walk through to get to the "All Russia Museum" It show all about Soviet advances in Agriculture. It was cool because the Flood lights were made to look like huge grain stalks. It is just near the famous Space Monumtent that looks like a rocket taking off.

I saw this while I was in Moscow about a month and a half ago.
